Chimichurri Steak & Fries

• total time: 3 hours 34 minutes

Ingredients

Recipe:

150g-170g Grass Fed Beef Eye Fillet Steak (or any cut)

Salt & Pepper

250g white potato- chopped into fries

1-1.5 tsp oil

Seasonings of choice (for fries)- I use salt & peri peri seasoning

Homemade Chimichurri (makes 4-5 serves):

Handful of parsley (I use 1/3 of a bunch)

1 small shallot

1 chilli

2 cloves garlic

1 tsp dried oregano

3 tbsp vinegar (I do a mix of red wine and ACV)

18g Olive oil (about a heaped tbsp)

Salt & Pepper to taste

I use more vinegar over olive oil to limit the calories

Directions

Bring the steak out of the fridge an hour before cooking (to bring to room temp) I like to pat it dry with a paper towel and season with just salt on both sides

Make the chimichurri sauce - I like to blitz every ingredient in my mini food processor because I am too lazy to chop, mix all the ingredients well in a bowl and let it sit in the fridge for minimum 30 minutes to really develop the flavour

Peel & cut the potato into fries & rinse the starch of the potato until the water comes clear

Optional (but recommended) soak the fries in cold water with a dash of baking soda and salt for 30 mins-1 hour

Pat dry and add to a bowl with 1/2 tsp olive oil (the less the better trust me on this) and seasonings and mix well

Airfry at 160c for 5 mins then 200c for 12-15 mins shaking half way

While the fries are cooking, heat a pan to medium-high heat, add a dash of olive oil and cook the steak (I do 2 -3 minutes per side, but every steak will differ (Depending on thickness) mine was a little more well done (I prefer it a lil rarer so do 2 mins per side if you like it more medium rare- for thicker steaks do 3-4 mins)

Remove the steak from the pan and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, I also season with pepper at this point.

Cut the steak into thin strips, serve with the fries and chimichurri and enjoyyyy
